PREFACE. 



A AT' HAT little is known in our communion of the 
Mozarabic Rite, so called, is generally derived 
from the genuine erudition of Neale, from what Palmer 
less accurately tells us, and from an inspection of the 
material preserved in Migne's Patrologia. It is sur- 
prising how little has been wrought out from this field, 
and with how little success the learned have tried to 
account for the name itself. To call it "The Gothic 
Rite," as many do, is very misleading. It is, in its 
essential and original parts, the ancient Spanish 
Liturgy, as Neale has lucidly shewn ; and it is inter- 
esting more especially for two reasons: (i) it is akin 
to the ancient Gallican Rite, and (2) it so far partakes 
of an Ephesine spirit, as to be justly styled a link be- 
tween the usages of East and West. 

From the time, when, in God's Providence, I was 
called to a place on " the Mexican Commission," it 
has been my ardent hope and desire to see the atten- 
tion of the reformed Mexican Church, turned to these 
ancient sources of her own historic faith; and to 
induce her divines to use them, precisely as our re- 
formers used the old Anglican Offices, in renewing 



-©*■ 



*o e>* 



the Primitive Worship and its simple but sublime 
ceremonial. Whatever concessions have been made 
pro tempore to present exigencies and difficulties, I am 
justified by the Reports, now published, in saying 
that the Commission itself has, over and over again, 
recognized the principle thus expressed, and cherishes 
the hope that it will yet be accepted by the Mexican 
" Old Catholics" as their true policy, on every account; 
but, also, as due to the terms of their "Covenant" 
with our Catholic and Apostolic Church. We have 
no right to impose on them our convictions, however ; 
and we must wait till the Holy Spirit, whose presence 
and power are so evidently with them, enables them, 
by study and larger commerce with loving hearts 
among us, to " work out their own Salvation," in the 
practical way we suggest. 

Absorbed in the pressing duties of my Episcopate, 
I have from the first, relied on my beloved brother 
Dr. Hale, whom I have known and conferred with, 
from the days of his pupillage, to work in this old 
mine for me and with me; and I am pleased with 
this opportunity of thanking him for his unwearied 
labours, in bringing forth treasures " new and old," 
from Spanish Antiquity: they are old and primitive 
in themselves ; they are largely new to his brethren- 
He has compiled an admirable office for the Holy 

*® fl 



-&■ 



Eucharist; and a Baptismal Office, also, from such 
materials; and I trust they may soon see the light, 
with an introductory Excursus and with the Notes 
with which he is so capable of enriching the work. 
The Collects herewith presented are a mere speci- 
men of their Editor's entire work, but they are not 
an inconsiderable portion of it, and the> may, by 
God's blessing, awaken attention to the subject, and 
thus promote his ultimate desires and purposes, with 
which I sympathize, ardently; not only because of 
my respect lor him, but rather because of the import- 
ance of the subject to Catholic Reconstruction and 
Reform in Mexico and elsewhere. 

I have before me the important work of Lorenzana, 
published in 1770, with the probable design of favour- 
ing the introduction of the Ola Spanish Rite into 
Mexico. He had been one of the Canons of the 
Royal Foundation, in Toledo, which preserved the 
Ancient Spanish Liturgy (interpolated indeed by 
Cardinal Ximenes) and was made Archbishop of 
Mexico. With him, one of his fellow-canons, who 
had become Bishop of Los Angelos, was a fellow 
labourer, in the same cause. By the aid of Neale's 
criticisms, and the general principles of Primitive 
Worship so admirably expounded by the late Arch- 
deacon Freeman, it would not be a difficult task for 



-®*

8 PREFACE. 

our Mexican brethren, to make this work of Loren- 
zana a most useful instrument of influence with their 
unreformed countrymen. 

It is Dr. Hale's idea, and I sincerely share it with 
him, that the Commission of our own Church, now 
engaged in Liturgical Inquiry, might not improbably 
find some material for their labours in the same direc- 
tion. Nor do I overlook the practical object he has 
kept in mind, of enriching the devotional resources 
of pious members of the Church, for their private 
communings with God, in the fellowship of His 
Saints. 

But, in any case, the labours of Dr. Hale will be 
most useful to some; and I trust this publication 
may, by God's blessing, lead to such great results as 
His blessed Spirit delights to produce, from ventures 
of faith the most humble and unpretending.

Bishop of Western New York.

I. THE ATM OF THIS BOOK. 

■"HE learned Canon Bright, in his Ancient Col- 
lects, of which, whether it be considered as a 
most useful book of devotion, or as a work of litur- 
gical scholarship, one could hardly speak too highly, 
gives a number of prayers translated from what he 
well describes as "the glowing and pathetic supplica- 
tions of the Ancient Spanish Church." 

It has been thought, that a fuller selection of such 
prayers from the Mozarabic Liturgy, giving the Col- 
lects for the Sundays and other chief Holy Days of 
the Christian Year, with some additional prayers, 
might aid the devotions of persons to whom hal- 
lowed words, instinct with the same spirit which 
breathes in the Collects of our Prayer Book, and, 
like those Collects, a legacy from the earlier days of 
the Church, are ever acceptable. 

Care has been taken, in translating, to keep as 
close as might be to the original, except that, not 
infrequently, what seemed over-long expressions 
have been condensed, the prayers of the Ancient 
Spanish Church being scarcely more marked by fer- 

B (

vency, than by exuberance of diction. As an in- 
stance, it may be mentioned that in the Mozarabic 
'Liturgy there are more than one hundred different 
Proper Prefaces, of which quite a number are longer 
than the Exhortation in our Communion Office, 
" Dearly Beloved in the Lord, etc.," and some of 
them twice its length. The originals of several 
Collects are given in the following pages, and at 
another time the original Latin of all may be published. 

2. THE MOZARABIC LITURGY* 

OYthe term "The Mozarabic Liturgy "is desig- 

-^ nated the liturgy in general use in the Spanish 

Church from the time of St. Isidore of Seville, who,

about the beginning of the seventh century, had 
much to do with putting it into its present form, 
until the eleventh century, when it was almost entirely 
set aside, through Romish influence. In its essential 
features, it would seem to have been coeval with the 
implanting of Christianity in Spain, and, continued in 
use, in a very few Spanish churches, even to this day, 
it has providentially remained a living rite. As to 
the name Mozarabic, Neale says : " The real deriva- 
tion is simple enough : Arab Arabe signifying an 
Arab by descent (like an Hebrew of the Hebrews), 
Arab Most- Arabe an Arab by adoption, and the latter 
term having been gradually softened and applied to 
the Liturgy."* 

3. COLLECTS FOR THE SEASONS. 

THE Book of Common Prayer, directing the 
Collects for the First Sunday in Advent, and 
for Ash Wednesday, to be repeated each day during 
the seasons at the head of which those days respec- 
tively stand, makes of them Collects for the Season, 
The Mozarabic Liturgy provides Collects for that 
specific purpose. The Collect for Easter-tide, in the 
original, is as follows : 

* Essays on Liturgiology, p. 131.

72 APPENDIX. 

*"T*E excelsa laus in altissimis decet, Tibi e terris 
-*- gloriam Ecclesia canity atque hujus catervae 
concentus ad astra hymnum emittit : Rogamus Te, 
Omnipotens Deus, ut sicut Tuas solenniter porrigimus 
laudes, ita precum nostrarum jubeas efficaciter susci- 
pere voces. Amen. 

Per misericordiam Tuam, Deus noster, Qui es 
benedictus, et vivis, et omnia regis, in saecula saecu- 
lorum. Amen.* 

This double ending is very common with Mozarabic 
Collects. In the translation it has been retained 
only in the case of Collects for the Seasons. 

4. COLLECTS FOR THE SUNDAYS AND HOLY DAYS. 

FOR the most part, the Collects for the Sundays, 
and for the Festivals of our Lord, have been 
translated from the Latin originals without other 
change than needful condensation. It has not always 
been possible, however, to take them from the service 
of a corresponding day. For the most of the Sun- 
days after Trinity there were no special services ap- 
pointed. When a Saint's Day service was not said 
on such day, as was generally the case, the service of 
a preceding Sunday was repeated. 

* Liturgia Mozarabica, 1. 479.

APPENDIX. 73 

The Collect for the Third Sunday after the Epiph- 
any, in the original Latin, is as follows : 

A DESTO, Deus Pater Omnipotens, precibus nos- 
^*- tris, et plenitudinem nobis tribue charitatis et 
pacis ; ut omnes nos qui de misericordia Tua con- 
fidimus, in spe semper, et charitate, sine fine viva- 
mus. Amen* 

The Collect in our Prayer Book for the Sunday after 
the Ascension, is taken, as is well known, from the 
Vesper Antiphon of the Ascension, with whose words 
the Venerable Bede breathed forth his soul at Yarrow. 
Canon Brightf and Dean Goulburnf express the 
regret which others feel, that our Reformers did not 
continue " its ancient character as an appeal to the 
Son, the ascended King of Glory.'' The original of 
the Collect for Ascension Day in this book, a Capitula 
at Lauds on that Festival, is as follows : 

"T^vOMINE R.ex Glorias, Qui patefactis et ad- 
*^* impletis Prophetarum oraculis, tamquam elevatis 
ajternalibus portis, Paternam repetis sedem. quia dum 
tua Deitas eo quo nunquam discessit regreditur,

illic extendatur nostra intentio, quo praecessit vera 
nostra Redemptio, nee inhaereamus captiva dilec- 
tatione terrenis, cum jam nostri corporis Caput Tecum 
regnat in coelis.* 

When we come to the Collects for the Saints' Days, 
greater changes have in some cases been required. 
And yet it has been possible to find fitting material 
for such Collects in the Mozarabic Liturgy, to a much 
larger extent than the framers of our Prayer Book 
could in the Use of Sarum. In the Prayer Book, the 
Collect for Holy Innocents' Day is, in the main, 
Gelasian ; those for the Purification, the Annuncia- 
tion, St. John Baptist's Day, and St. Michael's are 
Gregorian ; those for St. Stephen's Day, the Conver- 
sion of St. Paul, and St. Bartholomew's Day are, in 
part, from ancient sources; the rest date from 1549, 
1552, and 1661. In this book, while the Collects 
for the Festivals of St. Matthias and St. Barnabas 
have something from the Mozarabic, all the other 
Saints' Day Collects have originals to which they 
correspond, in no inadequate degree, in the Ancient 
Spanish Liturgy. What follows, the original of the 
Collect for St. Peter's Day, shows what good mate-

The original of the " Prayer for those in Affliction "

lars, the original of a prayer in our Litany.f The 
Mozarabic form is as follows :
